Max MAVES, a prominent farmer of the town of Spring Brook, was born
in the town of Elk Mound, Dunn County, Wis., Dec. 7, 1879, son of
Charles and Augusta (Hine) Maves.  He was educated in the Beyers
school in the town of Red Cedar and until 24 years of age remained on
the home farm assisting his parents.  Then going to California, he
spent four years there, during two years of that time being engaged
in operating a rented farm with his cousin, William Maves, and the
rest of the time doing common labor.  Having returned to Wisconsin,
in 1908 he took up his residence on his parents farm of 240 acres in
Section 13 and 18 of the town of Spring Brook, the place at that time
being owned by his father.  In October, 1915, he bought it and has
since erected on it a fine barn, silo and other buildings.  He has a
fine herd of grade and pure bred Holstein cattle and is a stockholder
in the Rusk Cooperative Creamery.  Mr. Maves was married on Dec. 1,
1908, in the town of Spring Brook, to Ida Schaefer, who was born
April 1, 1882, the daughter of Henry and Mary (Sipple) Schaefer.  He
and his wife are the parents of six children, who were born as

21, 1913; Irving, Jan. 23, 1916; Willard, Aug. 20, 1917; and Loraine,
